My students from Philadelphia are part of a pilot program that connects Head Start and Bright Futures children. This early learning program gives children from all cultures, areas, and various incomes an opportunity to learn and thrive within the district.
My little learners enjoy playing, writing, reading, discovering, sharing ideas, and exploring in center time, circle time, and during meal times, within our classroom.
They are encouraged to explore and investigate as they touch, listen, look, speak, smell, and grow throughout the day.
My spectacular children enjoy listening to rich literature, talking and sharing ideas with peers, playing with friends throughout the classroom and learning about the world around us. As they gain confidence, learn, and gather knowledge throughout the day, I am confident that they will be successful in the future.
My Project
In our classroom children love to play and explore. They enjoy assembling puzzles with friends, classmates, and teachers. They complete puzzles while they are learning numbers, letters, shapes, community helpers, nature, and colors. They work independently to complete basic four-piece knob wood puzzles and gather in small groups to assemble huge 24 piece floor puzzles.
Our students would benefit from having a sturdy shelf to independently access various puzzles.
Students would be able to easily reach different types of puzzles. The numerous compartments of the shelf would also enable our students to easily retrieve and put away various types of puzzles onto specifically labeled shelves.
